It was a disappointing outing for Chelsea as they were beaten 2-1 by Wolverhampton Wanders in their Premier League fixture at the Molineux Stadium.

Maurizio Sarri's team were clearly the better team from the start and got the reward for their dominance when Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek's shot took a deflection off Wolves' defender, Conor Coady and found the back of the net to make it 1-0.

However, Wolves came out in the second half firing on all cylinders and levelled the scoreline through Raul Jimenez in the 59th minute of the game. The Portuguese youth-international, Jota then put the hosts in the front just four minutes after their equalizing goal.

Chelsea tried to get back into the game after going down but Wolves' backline stood firm and didn't let the visitors take anything away from the game. The Blues enjoyed 71% possession during the match and had 17 shots on goal as compared to the Wolves' six.

The Blues are currently fourth on the Premier League table, 10 points behind the leaders, Manchester City. They were unbeaten in the first 12 league games this season but lost two in the last three games. They will play the league leaders, Manchester City in their next Premier League fixture before making a trip to Hungary to play Vidi for their final Champions League group stage fixture.

On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanders are currently 12th on the Premier League table and they ended their run of six straight Premier League defeats by winning against the Blues. The Wanderers spent heavily in the last summer transfer window but their big-name signings are yet to show their worth.

They will play Newcastle United away next before hosting Bournemouth and Liverpool at Molineux Stadium for two consecutive games.
